At that point, you don't fill it up again. EVER. It becomes a lawn ornament until you find an alternative fuel source and implement it. Also, your house...I expect you to cut the power to it. Right then. All the plastic containers in your house? I fully expect you will toss them all out to the recycle bin. Most of your upholstery, too. Take that siding off your house if you have it...that was made from petroleum, too. I hope you don't have any CD's or DVD's either...guess what they are made from? Didn't think about that when you were giving a standing ovation to dip****'s "**** your jobs" rant, were you?

So yeah, **** their jobs and **** your idiotic notions that this disaster should be the impetus to force others into a lifestyle more to your liking. Leave it to a ****ing out of touch liberal to never let an opportunity to let a tragedy be used to leverage force of their twisted ideals onto others.

Please, Jallman, it's impossible to cut out oil completely so unless you're Amish, you can't live everyday life without using products derived from oil. So I don't expect ANYONE to go cold turkey, and it's absurd to expect anyone to do so. What I want to see is a reduction in our consumption that will lead to change. New thinking, new products, and new industry... and the time to start is now.

“No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it,” Trump said... “‘Is everyone OK’? You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody OK?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”

So start then. But you're still gonna need oil in the meantime. So it makes zero sense to get mouthy and arrogant and smarmy about the Louisianna oil rig worker's livelihood that has been taken away when you still consume the VERY PRODUCT he provides to you. (And by "you" I mean the editorial "you". Actually, I specifically mean that subhuman skidmark of crusted foreskin cheese, Bill Maher)

I have for years... at least as much as I can. Thing is, as I said, it's impossible today to live in our world without using oil each and every day. I hate using oil, but I have to in today's society. I want that to change. If we all do our part, offshore drilling will not be a necessity.

I agree. I just hope you understand that my exception is taken to Maher's "**** your jobs" rant and those who agreed with him while still using oil.

Re: First rig sails away over drilling ban

Please, give details of any spill in the gulf in US waters in the last 60 years that was as big as this one.

This outta be good.

Now you add "Gulf" and "US waters" to the mix. Why don't you add "on a Sunday," too?

He's a comedian... I thought his rant was pretty funny. And without offshore drilling, the US would still have plenty of jobs in the oil field (and enough oil to sustain it's dependency.. for the next little while, anyway).

You can't even do it if you're Amish. You need to grease your buggy axles. There!

Go ahead and go back and reread EVERY SINGLE ****ING TIME I QUOTED it as the first oil spill of this size in the Gulf in US waters. Where the **** else would I be comparing it to? The persian Gulf? I don't give a **** what Mexico does. They don't go by the same regulations. It's called comparing apples to apples.
